Anyone have the size of the rear wiper blade? They broke mine installing PPF and I can’t find it thru the normal ways to find the size. I can find the front ones, but not the back one.

This is not the original size. It is a little longer and well worth it.

The Bosch is 16” and the Trico is 15”. The Trico retains contact across the entire sweep. The Bosch is a little stiffer so it does not make quite as wide a sweep as the Trico due to the shape of the back glass, but it wipes about half an inch higher. I have had both and am a little on the fence as to which I like better. The Bosch is better for my rear dash cam, but I kind of like the extra width that the Trico clears. ?‍♂?

Alright feeling like an idiot. Hope so you remove the G-15 to replace it? I feel like I'm going to break something...

The Trico 15G is a simple snap fit. Lift the wiper arm and then push the blade away from the arm. It will snap out. Takes some force to achieve. ??

I had the 16 until I took it through a car wash that caught the loose end and ripped the whole arm off.

Yeah, in the resting position, the Trico 15G fits the car better. It probably would not have this happen. I am still on the fence as to which I like better. ?‍♂?

I tried the 15" Bosch and it fell off in a recent snow storm. Back to 12" for me...

Trico 15G. Be sure you properly install either of these as they have a different latch than the OEM.
